What are Ton-force and Inch Mercury

A ton-force, specifically a short ton-force, is a unit of force that equates to the amount of gravitational force exerted by a short ton (2,000 pounds) at the Earth's surface. It is primarily used in the United States and is a measure of weight rather than mass, reflecting the force gravity has on an object.

Inch of mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure measurement used in meteorology, aviation, and many other fields. It measures the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at 0 degrees Celsius at the standard acceleration of gravity. One inHg is equivalent to 3,386.389 pascals at 0 degrees Celsius.

History of Ton-force and Inch Mercury

The concept of converting ton-force per square foot to inches of mercury at 60°F has evolved over time, originating from the need to standardize pressure measurements for scientific and industrial applications, enabling consistent and accurate comparisons across various fields.
